>>53226448>back when they leaked Primarina was actualy making people madder than Incineroar at firstNo it fucking wasn't, if anything it salvaged Popplio (which was DEAD last vs ballowl and tindercat on reveal).
That Primarina was clearly the feminine-influenced starter, like Meowscarada also meant people didn't actually consider it a shill threat, so the fight came down to owltards and catfags, something which was avoided this gen as the waifubait also happened to be the strongest of the three and based off an animal the vast majority of the pokémon-playing audience WILL have personally interacted with.
You understand? After 2 Gens of pandering to cumskulls, they skip a Gen with the very next Gen not only going full-bore on the cumskull-inspired and orientated design but also making it head-and-shoulders above the other two choices, proving they understand how much merch cumskulls generate for Starters and that they'll not make the mistake of not including a cumskull-flavoured starter for those that want it.
